I got hyped about Witcher 1, I had a weak will, and I bought it. I didn't like it.

I got hyped again about Witcher 2, I had a weak will, and I bought it. And I didn't like it either.

I'm hyped about Witcher 3, I have a weak will, and I'm gonna buy it. Will I like it ?

I got it on GoG!
It comes as a bundled game with Nvidia's GTX 900s and a friend traded it for 2 beers (and the tips). I still wonder if those money weren't better spent on booze for myself. but he was penniless so I would have had to buy him drinks anyway.
I somehow liked the first game as it had an interesting story, a fresh world with some decent characters. Did not like or finish 2. Have low expectations on 3. But I finished the boring PoE (I mean I still have to beat that last boss but that is 2 weeks old in waiting and expect it wont happen ever) so i have free time. At least I am not expecting much out of this one so I surely wont be disappointed. I hope so at least. I had 0 expectations from DA Inquisition and I was still disappointed (2 hours in game was all I could do) - horrible game.

As for the potato producer, I used to like them but now they are selling their "good guys image" like a would be virgin selling their hymen for the highest bidder. So, I expect them to do worse and worse games that will sell more and more.

Yep, it looks like crap in xbox:



That footage was shot on PC afair.

Also... why even link this?

"Hey guys, look at this video footage of a TV screen of a PC game, this is how we judge how games look."

It's like watching the new Avengers film on a VHS tape through a manhole cover and then saying the VFX look mediocre.

Dude, get over it, the downgrade was confirmed by CDR. They blatantly said it was downgraded for consoles, it looks worse than TW2.

Dude I mainly linked this for the laughs. Also I spotted some pretty low textures and since the vid is showing the xbox game case, I'm assuming he is playing the xbox version. If he is playing the PC version, I really hope he is using mid-low settings.

- shit combat

No need to go further. An action rpg with shit combat isn't worth playing.

So pretty much every action RPG ever with the possible exception of Dark Souls. (I actually don't like Dark Souls gameplay that much either, but some people love the timing-based stuff, not really my thing but I can respect the argument.)

dragons dogma, blade of darkness, dark messiah, risen 1, dragons crown all actionc crpgs with great combat. I dont even know how it is possible to develop an action game about monster hunter and combat system is not your fucking priority....

I got Witcher 3 for free due to a friend buying a gtx 970.

If Witcher 3 is awesome, then awesome - I'll have awesome fun.

If Witcher 3 is horrible, then awesome - I'll have awesome fun watching butthurt on rpg codex

The question is can father time polish a clump of turd (or coal) and turn it to diamond or some other rare and valuable substance?

Witcher Infinity - not a bad game

Can I only ask that the Codex review is not funny this time as I nearly bought number 2 on the strength of Vaultdwellers review - however I had already bought it because Witcher 1 had some potential.

Is the main guy now capable of just STABBING a monster that is right behind him, or does he still feels the need to do a triple backflip first? (and get his attack interrupted in the process)?
